Hi all,
I have a question which I'll try to convey as best as I can. I want to change the referer variable so when I do a:
header("Location: $location");
the log files on the resulting location have the information in the referer environment variable that I have set, not what was originally in that referer variable.
Here's an example.
Someone does a search on yahoo for the term 'search engine positioning'. The referer information in the log contains something similar to the following:
host156.wdia.com - - [05/Jul/2003:13:35:27 -0700] "GET ?term=search+engine+positioning+and+placementbullseye.html HTTP/1.1" 200 8688 "http://us.rd.yahoo.com/search/navbar/nexts/*-http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=search+engine+positioning&xargs=02u3hs9yoaKCstSjWzAFC1QsyyctTTIMFUAACqRb4F&b=21" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible ; MSIE 4.0 ; Windows 95/98 ; 1236446)"
I want to change that information by pulling the variables after the http so the only thing passed is the http info.
Can this be done?
A way I've gotten around it that is not acceptable is to use a javascript form submit instead of the header function. This won't work because we have a requirement that our users can hit the back button on their browser. Hitting the back button with the javascript solution just resubmits the javascript form.
Thanks so much,
Guy Davis
